Key Fact
France has famously complex bureaucracy (the préfecture experience is legendary) but offers world-class universal healthcare, 5 weeks mandatory vacation, and excellent public infrastructure once you are in the system.
Life in France
Morning baguettes from the corner boulangerie, two-hour lunches with wine that no one apologizes for, and the slow realization that the French were right about everything involving food.
